Strictly opinion of course, and we'll never know.
I'm happy he won today, by the way. Very cool for the sport.

Three and Four wide throughout, saddle slipped, huge performance by Chrome and he was still on his toes and full of energy on the pull up. Sherman said he was several lengths better than ever this year and he sure looked it.

Your immediate responses were beyond obvious, you're irked that he won. Don't try to cover, after two crummy posts and being called on them.
Totally... so not cool. Own up to it next time. Please.

CC thrashed him at Pimlico.
Parx race doesn't count.
BC Classic was a super performance by Bayern,
but he could have been DQed.
All in all, they were pretty close.

You must be joking, right? My very first tweet (not that anyone sees that here) was that I didn't win a cent but that it was great he won.
My picture only post was just about Coburn and how he is no longer involved. I bet a total of $12 on the race mostly because I was pretty sure Chrome would win.
My second post was not about Chrome, it was about how people still seem to downplay American Pharoah. The horse did something we may never see again in our lifetimes yet people still want to knock him. I don't get it.
You're dead wrong on this on DG, but that is fine. I'm wrong a lot more.

It's very hard to keep a horse at a high level this long.
Good for them

Of an interesting note, the filly Polar River is a ML of 3/5 in the UAE Derby.

Hey, took a shot with 2/11. Can't win them all. I did just fine today though. Chrome proved his "metal" today.

Art Sherman popped off last year about it being a bad idea to send the horse to Dubai. Let's see now, that's $8 million in purse money from Dubai in the two trips combined, and the trainer's share of that is an awfully nice chunk of change.
What Art Sherman should be doing is thanking Perry Martin every single day for giving him by far the best horse that he's ever trained.

Thankfully I didn't bet a penny.
Mshawish can't get 10 panels, that is plainly obvious now.
Helluva race by Chrome. Hopefully he ships back well and keeps on track for a march towards this year's BC.

The rest of the field reminds me of last year's Classic's. Pretty blah.

He beat Mubtaahij and Hoppertunity today by maybe four lengths. From that, you're trying to suggest that he's better than American Pharoah? Come on.
